Did you hear about the 21 person dinner last night? Why wasn't that cut? Do you think a bottle of wine and a steak will clear up the congressional logjam? I imagine Obama's limo/security costs for that dinner, which could have been held IN THE WHITE HOUSE, would have funded a summer of WH tours.

It must be even more shocking to dumbfucks like you to suddenly find out the government ****** away 1 day of WH tour costs every couple of minutes on some other bullshit expense.

The cuts should be specific and targeted. There should be some intelligent thought behind them. Perhaps that's asking too much from this President and this Congress.

Indiscriminate cuts can be stupid. "Across the board" is indiscriminate, and therefore stupid.

The problem with the sequestration cuts were that they were supposedly designed to be so onerous that nobody would want to allow them to occur. Then Obama did absofuckinglutely nothing to try to prevent them from occurring. That's a failure of leadership.

Well, the house passed a bill to repeal the sequester. But then that bill was filibustered by Repubs in the senate. So there's that. It doesn't all fall on Obama.
